Amazon are a predatory multi-national corporation, but there's worse people to work for. I mean, $15 an hour (roughly £11 for Brits) is not bad money at all for that kind of job, even disregarding them sorting out your health insurance.
I'm of the controversial opinion that the megacorps aren't exactly the bad guys in all this, they're just taking advantage of a situation that a particularly incompetent breed of politician has created.
For every job that Amazon creates, it destroys three others (just an estimate) by putting traditional mon-and-pop stores out of business. Overall, it's still a loss from the jobs perspective, even if they do pay slightly more than other stores.
